Ubisoft recently unveiled a test application for Black Sails, and its chief financial officer, Frederick Duguet, expressed "great satisfaction" with the game's progress. The development of "Black Sails" has encountered many problems in the past few years, but fortunately, Ubisoft seems to have finally found a clear direction.
According to Tom Henderson, if nothing else, the 2022 E3 show will officially announce its release date. This is also in line with the "Blue Sea Black Sail" mentioned in Ubisoft's official financial report some time ago that ""Blue Sea Black Sail" will be launched in fiscal years 22 to 23.
In February, Ubisoft completely removed the Steam page and data content of Black Sails. In recent years, Ubisoft games such as Assassin's Creed: Temple of Heroes, Watch Dogs: Legion, and Far Cry 6 have stopped landing on Steam, so the reason for removing the Steam page may be that the game is close to release. On March 10, Ubisoft officially announced the new logo of "Blue Sea Black Sail".
Last year, it was reported that "Blue Sea Black Sail" has now cost more than $120 million. What is the concept of this number? The total cost (combined development and publicity costs) of games such as Destiny, Tomb Raider: Shadow, and GTA4 is about $120 million, and Ubisoft's most expensive game, Watch Dogs, also cost only $74 million.
The game will take precedence in "multiplayer mode" and focus on ship-to-ship naval battles, with no ground combat for the time being. The development studio is Ubisoft Montreal and is expected to be launched from April 2022 to March 2023.
